If you are a BlackBerry Bold 9900 owner who isn't a fan of leaked OS's, but instead prefers to only install official variants you will be pleased to know SK Telekom has made OS 7.0.0.353. Last week we saw this version as a leaked OS, but today it has been made an official, so get to downloading. As always, be sure to back up your device, and excerise caution while installing this release, and be sure to let us know in the forums how it goes for you.

not taking long from leaked to official right now for the OS7 devices :) Im not complaining either

timeXway

cool, i have that installed already, ... i don't have to update from the leaked right?

I have very little hope that Bell Mobility will be updating their official OS soon.

QuIcKsIlV3r

your carrier doesn't need to be updated to the official OS, you can update yourself and when you do it, on here you will find a guide to update your OS and delete the vendor.xml file and it will work just fine on your phone

Thanks for the tip. I'm aware that I can un-offically update (and will likely do so soon), just venting about Bell Mobility's "sell and forget" mentality. ;^)

Does it include UMA?

QuIcKsIlV3r

not yet. Believe me, it will be news when UMA gets supported

TechieAttorney

I imagine you are correct. I do not use it very often. In fact, I only use it when visiting certain family members or when traveling abroad (which amount to only a few weeks a year). However, during those periods, it is crucial to me. My belief is we will see UMA again sometime in the Fall or just after the new year begins. As I am not doing any more travel before March or April, I upgraded to the 9900 and decided that if UMA is still not around when I do travel, I will add a line, use an old UMA capable phone, such as my 9700 or my wife's old Pearl, and cancel that extra line when I return (within two weeks). That way I still have UMA calling, even if it means I have to carry two devices while abroad.

It says all language but will it be in english on my phone? I have never done a OS that wasn't in english

It should be: once u select your preferred language at installation!

Hibbylinx81

Downloading; will give it a go ASAP, tho my BB has been working well with .317.

I'm on a sprint 9930 and still have .241 I believe and it seems to be working fine, do you guys recommend I upgrade? Never done this before so a little hesitant. If it improves my battery life like everyone says I'll jump on the bandwagon.

I have not been able to doing any OS 7 upgrades wether official or beta
since I got the new 9900
I use DM and nothing happens I try the other way of
deleting vendor xml and trying to download via apploader with no sucess
What am I missing?

takeo

after installing the package of the leak, find the loader.exe (where the vendor.xml file is, delete that!) and fire it up... click next all the time, check apps you wanna keep or delete etc. and it will be done.

scBold9700

why update it already? I just got my 9900 from yesterday

Hi,

I can't install the 353 version as it's a .exe and i'm on mac.

I've searched in the forum but didn't find any way to install an os with mac
Does anybody know ?

imgleb

i have a mac, its a pain in the ass. Either do it on a windows computer, or get a VIRTUAL BOX for ur mac and install windows on in. It will let u run windows in a small window. Pretty easy setup. Dont forget to download a pack on their website for USB 2.0 support if you choose to go that route. if you need help with finding a copy of windows to install on the virtual box, ask and ill put up a link
